Fallen Asleep

…
“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”

Lazarus was dead, and had
been dead, yet Jesus, who had heaven’s perspective did not say, he was dead,
but asleep, and he was going to go wake him up.

Here is a major theme of
Jesus.He came to conquer the curse of
sin and death, and those who followed him in relationship, would no longer die
in the same way a wicked person would die.Those who follow him, simply fall asleep, and at the resurrection, Jesus
will come and wake them up.

So, as we journey through
this life, let us remember the hope of the resurrection stems from a
friendship relationship with God, through our best friend, Jesus, and the hope
for all who are in relationship is we don’t fear death anymore.

Death is not an issue for us
in relationship with God anymore.We are
good to go.Like Moses, I hope you are
setting your faith to live on earth for 120 years, and on your 120th
birthday, just fall asleep and enter heaven.

If you do not make it 120
years, it is not a defeat, but a victory, for you are simply falling asleep,
you are not dead, dead.You are not
double dead, but asleep.
